Welcome to Pioneer Acres

Closed for the season. See you in May 2019!

"Where History Comes Alive"

Situated on 50 acres of land, Pioneer Acres is aimed at preserving Alberta's heritage. We are conveniently located about 45 minutes north-east of Calgary and offer over a dozen buildings filled with unique exhibits and artifacts from our pioneering era.

New Hours & Rates

We will be closed to the public on Tuesday and Wednesday. We will be open 5 days a week from Thursday through Monday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Also note that some admission rates have increased. Please check out the Hours & Rates page for more details.

50th Annual Show

Our signature event is our Annual Show in August. For 2019 our feature is Horses and Horse-Drawn Equipment. You'll need all three days to see everything! There is also information available for the Pioneer Market (the "trade fair").

Our Mission Statement

"Pioneer Acres and its dedicated volunteers actively preserve, display, and demonstrate equipment and artifacts that were used by the pioneers of Western Canada."

Events and Happenings

Many days during the summer, Pioneer Acres is more than just static displays. We often have antique tractors or trucks being driven around the grounds. In addition to our annual show, we have a number of special event days. See the Feature Events page for more information.
